    If not the Hawks , than GO SF !

    Am I understanding you to say that the salary cap era has something to do with the lack of patience? The fact that it no longer works to carefully and methodically build a powerhouse franchise? If so, I agree (lol). If not, I'm good at filling in the blanks so I can agree with myself.

    Now that you mention it, that sounds right. I'll have to find some old broadcasts to watch.

    Geno Trade Value?

    Nothing like throwing three interceptions in a flag football exhibition to showcase to teams one's real value.

    It's cool that there was space for a guy like that in the booth back then. I guess as the networks experimented to develop a formula, the Cosell role was deleted. Wish there was more experimentation now. I've enjoyed the Manning casts when it's just the brothers commenting. When they invite...

    It's hard not to at times skirt the edges of politics. I won't get into it either other than to share my perspective that any society that allows for there to be, in real life (not sports), those who have more than they could ever need and those who don't have access to really basic things like...

    You're painting with a broad brush there, brother. Every fan base has immature fans and also some classy and knowledgeable ones. Hopefully we strive to be in the latter camp.

    Sums it up well for me too. Great season. I feel bad for my son, who is 9. He tends to think in black and white terms but I hope he comes to see the nuance as he matures.

    I share many of your perspectives. We've both said several times before that it wasn't DeBoer's leaving that offended but the manner in which he did so. I'd add that he went out of his way to give the impression he was staying. He spoke often of how much he loved the region, that his daughter...

    Gotta stop tap dancing around, brother, and just lay it on the line.

    Geno Trade Value?

    Definitely not a cap guru. Maybe I should steer clear of this. But my understanding is that if we cut him, certain money never comes due but we have to take the cap hit on the entire bonus in 2024, which is my preference. After Thursday, if he's on the roster, he gets a certain amount of...

    Those are good points. Are you a Husky fan? Do you feel good about the 2023 season. I do. I think of it as an amazing ride that I wouldn't trade for the world. But I notice that many fans seem bitter.

    Money only goes so far. One can only spend so much. DeBoer's a competitor. What creates meaning for him is a sense of winning. So yes, he can fall back on the comfort of being wealthy. He can pursue other interests. But right now I'm sure he really wants to win at Alabama.

    That's true. It's one of the ironies of sports that, in some ways, it's harder to come super close and fall short than to fall further away from the goal. This morning it's easier to be a Seahawk fan than a 49ers fan even though their season blew ours out of the water. Those of us who are Husky...

    That's funny. I was a child when he was broadcasting so stuff like that was way over my head. I remember his distinctive style, which was very New York. I grew up in New York so it felt familiar, even though, looking back, he dripped with arrogance at times. I imagine it must have rubbed people...

    The NIL, yes. And also the transfer portal. Schools like Alabama used to stack high school talent like cord wood. Kids would get stuck on the bench unless and until needed but it gave them amazing depth. Now it's so easy to move on. I think that was one of the keys to Washington winning the...

    Geno Trade Value?

    I'm not going to go back and forth with you over this. I could site things I've read and heard from those I consider credible but I really don't enjoy that sort of exercise. I don't have an investment in your agreement. You're welcome to believe whatever you want.

    In my view, the sample size is way too small to draw meaningful conclusions.

    I'm totally with you on that. I'm one of the guys advocating for the Hawks to move on.
